Breakthrough Journey
Vincent J. Prinzi, owner of Stars di Prinzi Salon in Warrington has learned something about life that is so important that he decided to write a book about it. Breakthrough Journey is work of fiction written to elucidate something important that the author, himself discovered on his own journey. It is a tale about Joseph, a hairstylist, who when walking in the park with his dog Maggie, encountered a heron named Herman. Prior to meeting this extraordinary bird, Joseph had been feeling burned out, depressed, tired of work and generally in a funk. It is at this point that Joseph begins a breakthrough journey that changes the way he lives and feels about life. The secret he discovers are these five guidelines that are revealed to Joseph, each by a different person. They are vision, purpose, commitment, passion and love—values that Vincent lives in his personal life and are also the basis of Stars di Prinzi’s culture of service. In fact, in harmony with his value of purpose, Vincent J. Prinzi is giving a portion of the proceeds of every copy of Breakthrough Journey to the Jake Darreff Legacy, which benefits local children who are afflicted with cancer. Stars di Prinzi is located at 1438 Easton Rd. Warrington, PA 18976: 215-343-4877. A public book signing of Breakthrough Journey will be held at the Doylestown Bookshop, 16 S Main St., Doylestown, PA on Friday, April 26 at 7 p.m.
